Hey guys,
ok heres the problem that im havin which started happenin yesterday.....car is acting like its not gettin fuel its buckin in every gear...(cold and warm) and with the buckin there is back-fire, also when i fiiled it with gas (until tank wouldn't take any more) the gas needle only registered half a tank. I am able to rev it but only if i gently lay into the throttle any more pressure and its starts buckin, when it does rev i hear the BOV so that indicates to me that the turbo is still workin....( i hope)does any of this sound familar to any one....this is about my only mode of transport rite now so i need to get this taken care quickly any help would be greatly appreciated. thanx

 

how many miles on the engine?

Could be low compression, failed TPS, typical grounding problems (do it yourself fix), leaky/cracked air intake or manifold, etc..

 

check the things that vaughnc said, they are all possibilities, especially the vacuum thing.
also when was the last time you changed the fuel filter?

see if any of the plugs or plug wires worked themselves loose - that's another possibility.

try those and see what happens ...

good luck

 

thanx.....will do

 

well i found the problem.....it turns out that it was my air-flow sensor.....actually the connector that plugs up to it, not makin proper contact or something, everything is fine now back to runnin like normal....
